Students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher will be eligible to apply for admission to the school’s honors program during the fall semester of their junior year.

Interested students must complete an application that will be reviewed by the school’s honors adviser who will make a recommendation to the admittance for each applicant. Once admitted to the program, honors students will begin their official program during the spring semester of their junior year. The program will take 1-1/2 years to complete. Each student will be required to maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher and show evidence of progress through the honors program.
